Description

iTags can be found at very cheap prices on internet.The official App "iTracing" allows to use iTags as "connected ibeacons".

iTag Alarm allows to use your iTag as "magic button" to take pictures or selfies, to send alarms, short messages and location to any of your contacts.

iTag Alarm is fully integrated with "If This Then That". With your "magic button" and the "Maker Channel" you can can trigger any "Action Channel" you want

iTag Alarm is fully integrated with "Automate for Android". With your "magic button" launch any flowchart,

iTag Alarm allows you to trigger "web actions" : https links and MQTT integration. Use this for home automation

Use as many iTags everywhere without limitations, each one can trigger its own alarms !

iTag is a Bluetooth Low Energy device. When used with "iTag Alarm" it will draw almost no current, just a little when alarm is activated. So the battery should last very very long...

Pro Version of this App will work totally in the background, with very very low impact on your smartphone precious battery. It will as well remove ads.

Try the App, it's free and could help you to protect your family :- give an iTag to older people to give them a way to call you in emergency conditions- give a iTag to your children they can send you alarms with their location with a single click- put an iTag in the dining room and press it when diner is ready !- use an iTag to send a "Yo" to your friends- send your location to friends during your trip or before a meeting- with IFTTT automate your home and use buttons to make actions such as : - if iTag On then launch music - if iTag On then open googleMap and go home (or other address) - if iTag On then send a mail with choosen content - if iTag On then switch On cooler, Hue bulb, - if iTag On then open garage door- with Automate use buttons to create your automations with flowcharts : - if iTag On then launch music - if iTag On then open googleMap and go home (or other address) - if iTag On then send a mail with choosen content - if iTag On then switch On cooler, Hue bulb, - if iTag On then open garage door- take pictures with your phone as soon as you switch your iTag On, even when the screen is off or when the screen is locked (Pro version)- and many more that you will invent ...

PLEASE : I have been reported that a very few number of itags do not work with my App (today 0,1%). Before leaving a negative comment, try first your tag with the "iTracing App". If it works then it must work as well with my App. If not it won't work neither ...Also do NOT pair your iTag with your Phone it is NOT needed.And don't hesitate to leave 5 stars rating. Thank you

I just installed it so I'm not sure if it's going to work with my tag. It shows the distance in meters. I got this to find lost keys in the house. It might not be able to give me a close enough location, we'll see.

So far so good. A little finicky

App tells me I am 10 metres from itag and keeps saying it is lost when it is next to me on the arm chair. Keeps sending alerts too. A bit frustrating.

Hi,
Yes these devices disconnect very often.
Try to use the App not as a tracker but as a "magic button"
dont pair the device with bluetooth
switch on bluetooth
switch on device (long press 2 beeps)
you should see it on the main screen
click on it, tick "follow this itag", select an action
switch off the tag (long click long beep)

I do not sell iTags just coded this App, please rate the App not the device...

This app works great! I put tags on my cats. I can find them every time they walk away. Tryed several apps they didn't work at all ! This one shows how many meters away they are. Even if they are under trailer. Look on Google maps to see if he sneaked down the street. Love it!

Faulty app. Overheats CPU. Battery killer. Edited later to response to developer's comments. Installed the app twice, rebooted the phone a few times. Every time app was too slow to be used properly. CPU temp raised more than 20C and batter power dropped 45% in less than 45 min. Phone functions returned to normal after uninstalling the app, twice. I hope it will work for other people.

The App relies on the embeded Bluetooth LOW ENERGY stack of the phone.
You never bind to any iTag. And absolutely no CPU heavy job is done.
Batt is preserved, I am sure of this.
You are the first one to claim for batt drain after more than 190000 installations of my App.
[edit] your Galaxi S4 is a quite old phone... possible explaination there ?

Considering the tags were so inexpensive, I'm pleased with the accuracy and beep response. Obviously, it can't pin-point a location, but at least I can get close and start the beep feature. Hopefully, I won't be searching and worried for hours the next time my dogs escape the yard & adventure the neighborhood.

Yes you are right.
But beware that the range is also very poor... Won't work very well for your dog if it runs fast !
thank ou for the review

The least obtrusive app I've found. I've only used the basic functions, but it looks like it should be good enough for anything I need. I am even using it to track stuff like my activity monitor. Not my first thought, but I lost the least one cutting down trees and I assume it's in a skip now,

Have a s4 and will not sync up, directions are unclear. Very disappointed as I purchased 6 for gifts. And now that I read others with problems you should be sued for false advertising. Says rt in the ad good for tracking pets, then in ur own reply you said their not good for that. Stay with American Made!!

Hi Jerry,
I am the coder of the App, I do this as a hobby... Nothing in commun with the device manufacturer.
You are right this device is poorly designed to be used as a tracker.
But if you use it as a "magic button" to trigger "things" then it can be great.
Try it

This app is a total waste of time! I have my tracker sitting next to me, not more than 12 inches away from my phone and yet it says lost everytime, as I said a waste of time... don't bother.

Looks interesting but there should be a command list or some sort of instructions to enable it to be set up. I only want to find the tag and remotely operate my phone camera. Maybe I am missing something !

please try this :
do not pair the device with your bluetooth
simply switch on bluetooth
then switch on device (long press 2 beeps)
now you should see it on the main screen of the app
ckick on it, tick "follow this itag", select "take a picture" action
switch off the tag (long click long beep)
it should work...

What does the 1.4m (miles or minutes away?)signify? How do I RENAME my iTag unit? I used SETTINGS, but it still shows up as iTag not what I named it. Looking for direction. Anyone?

It is okay and I find it useful however something is not right like the rename of the tag seem to hang and stop screen scroll this task is harder than it should be. I use this for anti loss and last location functions. These work well but the app does seem to be underused with further functionality that I do not understand a simple version of this app would get 5 star

Hi Martin,
Thank you for your review.
The "complexity" of the App doesn't prevent easy tasks to work !
If you need help to master IFTTT or Automate interfaces (which are quite complex) then send me a mail

Hi I love this app, and am really keen to use it further, but the one issue I have (and I suspect you can do nothing about) is that the iTag bleeps when separated from the phone, or even when it _thinks_ it's separated from the phone. Have you come across any way of fixing this? I could disconnect the speaker in it, but then it would be no use to find my keys. I know this isn't an issue with your software!

Yes you are right this seems to be the "normal" behavior of iTags and I really can't do anything with this.
I finally gave up using the tracking function, and I only use iTags as magic buttons.
switch on the tag : do action
switch it off and save bat !
Thanks so much for you review

Seems ok, still figuring things out. I'm trying to get it to beep for key locating, for example, but it often loses the signal when you tell the app to make the tag beep, and there's not a clear way to get it to stop beeping once it has started. This will take some trial and error, but it seems promising. The tracking function is my main interest (and I realize these cannot transmit gps data, which is a much more complicated and high-power application).
